Day 4 of Seven: Draw Your Days!
cycling. leading e-lunch seminar. grabbing a late coffee. teaching senior seminar. finishing some paperwork. teaching graduate seminar. a little evening guitar serenade. what a flocky tuesday — meeting more than 80 people today.

note of the day (from my today’s class):

Over and above rendering local knowledge invisible by declaring it non-existent or illegitimate, the dominant system also makes alternatives disappear by eras- ing and destroying the reality which they attempt to represent. The fragmented linearity of the dominant knowledge disrupts the integrations between systems. Local knowledge slips through the cracks of fragmentation. It is eclipsed along with the world to which it relates. Dominant scientific knowledge thus breeds a monoculture of the mind by making space for local alternatives disappear, very much like monocultures of introduced plant varieties leading to the dis- placement and destruction of local diversity. Dominant knowledge also destroys the very conditions for alternatives to exist, very much like the introduction of monocultures destroying the very conditions for diverse species to exist.
